MoM, right with you there on the opinion of Yeat's reading style. "Innisfree," for the tone of the words, should have a bright, light reading, but he's intoning it like a ritual magician trying to summon Beelzebub.

Then again, he was a member of the Golden Dawn, so maybe he'd gotten into the habit.
